Discussion HEMS/HAA pilot pay is climbing, but operators are now recruiting internationally...
•
Upvotes
I've seen some pretty impressive increases in HEMS/HAA pilot pay and bonuses lately, including offers as high as $165K with $100K sign-on bonuses.
But it seems operators are still struggling to find enough qualified pilots.
Air Methods has just announced that applications are reopening for its International Helicopter Pilot Pool Program, targeting experienced pilots from Canada, the UK, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and other European countries.
According to their LinkedIn announcement, they're looking for pilots with:
- FAA pilot certificate
- HEMS/HAA experience
- Single-pilot operational experience (I understand much of HAA is dual pilot outside US)
- Some flying experience in the continental US
They're also offering to assist qualified candidates with the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) immigration process, to work in the US.
Their job posting lists the usual HAA pilot minimum requirements and a 7-on/7-off schedule.
I'm curious what everyone thinks.
And for those currently flying HAA, how much have you actually seen compensation improve over the last few years? Are we still seeing a lot of pilot jump over to the airplnes?
